I got a degree symbol with a centered underline (or hyphen) directly
below it.  Is that what you were after?

The answer is: it depends.

This is not an ASCII character, so to display it, your input method
where it's keyed in and all your output devices need to be set to the
same character set mapping (like ISO Latin 1, etc).  And it needs to be
representable in one byte; filePro doesn't speak Unicode/UTF-8.
